Asmodee Entertainment has announced that Aconyte will be the North American publisher of Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla: Geirmund’s Saga, the tie-in novel to the eagerly awaited Assassin’s Creed Valhalla game coming this November from Ubisoft®.
The latest instalment of the world-famous Assassin’s Creed® game line (over 140 million copies sold) brings the focus to the Viking era.
The novel tells an original story set in the world of the game. Players can discover the epic tale of Geirmund Hel-Hide, a man determined to prove his worth as a Viking and a warrior. A perilous journey across the sea brings him into contact with a being out of myth and grants him a mysterious ring that promises both great power and bitter betrayal.
As Geirmund rises in the ranks of King Guthrum’s legendary army, he will have to use all his cunning to face the many dangers of a land ravaged by war. Fighting alongside his band of loyal warriors, his path will soon lead him into a conflict as old as the Gods themselves.
The novel by Matthew J. Kirby will be published by Aconyte in the US and Canada as an ebook on November 19, 2020, and as a trade paperback on March 2, 2021.
